Summer Programs At Broward Community Collegebackuptype

The Visual & Performing Arts Department (VPA) has been an integral part of Broward College since the College’s inception in 1960. If you want to study Dance, Film Production, Music, Music Technology, Theatre or Visual Arts as a concentration — or just take a few classes for enrichment — the VPA at Broward College is for you. We also produce a full season of performances. Hereby release and hold harmless Broward College, its officers, employees and agents from any liability including, but not limited to that caused by their negligence or any other cause, for any injury and or loss during my participation in the BCS Summer Academy 2009. I affirm that my child is able to participate in the planned program.
